The PCR1000 is *not* a Software Defined Radio.  It is typical  
receiver, minus front panel controls, which is controlled by commands  
over a standard serial port.

I find my PCR1000 a convenient scanner (albeit with very slow scan  
rate) on VHF and UHF.  It is an adequate shortwave receiver, but its  
front end suffers in the presence of strong signals.

P.S.  There is a separate PCR-1000 mailing list on mailman.qth.net  
that receives occasional bursts of activity.
